人们为什么要带帽子？文章告诉你三大原因——保护，交流和装饰。
1、逻辑推理前后照应词义比较 人们戴帽有保护、交流和装饰三个原因。开始时，人们戴帽是为了保护自己免遭季节气候的伤害。与前面的Protection(其名词形式)一致，与后文的protective一致，且后文竟出现了also provide protection。对后几句给予总结。defend防护, 辩护, 防卫；protect保护; 保卫；“保护……以免遭受危险或伤害等”；prevent 防止, 预防; 指“采取预先行动或用障碍物使不发生或停止”；hide 隐藏, 掩藏, 隐瞒, 掩饰。

6、词义比较常识运用 矿工、牛仔、救护队员的帽子显示出他们各自的工作，职责(occupation)，而非其经验(experience)、个性(personality)或是所受的教育(education)。
7、语句连贯 虽然帽子的重要用途是保护和交流作用，但许多人戴帽子是为了好看。表示让步关系，用though。

People in the United 
States honour their
parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.

Before coming to France， I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But， when I arrived in Paris， I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.
On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel， Dior， Pierre Cardin. In daily life， however， most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite， I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities， what people wear are usually casual dresses， such as T-shirts and jeans.
French people act as the fashion leaders， but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants（移民） from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential（有影响的） in this city. Therefore， you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father’s Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.

The number of accidents involving pedestrians (行人) wearing headphones is on the rise , a report suggests, causing fresh warning from road safety groups in Britain .
A US-based study found a total of 116 reports of death or injury to pedestrians wearing headphones between 2004 and 2011 , jumping from 16 in 2005 to 47 in 2011 .
Most victims were men (68%) and under the age of 30 (67%) , with around one in ten of all cases (9%) under the age of 18 .Some 89% of the cases occurred in urban areas and more than half (55%) of the victims were struck by trains .
Eighty-one of the 116 accidents (70%) resulted in the person’s death--- even though a warning was sounded in around a third of the cases .
The study concluded , “ The use of headphone may be a safety risk to pedestrians , especially in environments with moving vehicles（cars） . Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threatens pedestrian safety .” British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.
Floor Lieshout , director of Youth For Road Safety , said, “ This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic . It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic .”
Andrew Howard , who is the head of road safety at the Automobile Association , added that some pedestrians can be “so focused in their own little world they forget the world going on around them”.That can include headphone wearers , Howard said, but also people talking on phones.
However , Howard said that more researches needed to be done.
Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them .
Ian Harvey , at the charity Civic Voice , said that “ to defeat isolation and to help build a civic(文明的) society , people need to interact(交往) with each other .
He said , “ A basis for any civilized society is communication--- Surfing the web , listening to MP3s , reading blogs or sending e-mail is not interacting with a person; it’s interacting with a machine.
“If people feel socially isolated , they need to have more face-to-face interactions with other human beings and in time , will begin to feel happier and more connected to the world and place they live in .”
1.What does the text mainly discuss ?
A. Recent research on the risks to pedestrians
B. Safety problems caused by wearing headphones.
C. The advantages and disadvantages of headphones
D. Traffic accidents in the United States
2.We can learn from the Us-bases study that _________ .
A. most victims died in the accidents
B. most accidents were caused by cars
C. most accidents happened in the countryside
D. most victims are under eighteen
3.Howard will probably agree that ____________ .
A. it is safe if you wear headphones in a proper way
B. people wearing headphones are more likely to go blind
C. most people wear headphones because of loneliness
D. it is dangerous to talk on phones while walking
4.What Lan Harvey said shows the importance of ___________ .
A. beating isolation B. communication between people
C. building a civilized society D. new technologies
